We enjoyed our time in St. Thomas...how could you not with the amazing view from this spacious rental. Not one but two decks to relax on and loaded with amenities (beach chairs, floats, snorkle equipment). Paul (owner) and Pat (VIP Rentals) were attentive and responsive. Everyone appears to take the Breakaway charter from Sapphire Beach, we purchased our tickets at the Beach Hut with Elysian and saved considerably more than many of the others sailing with us that day. It was a nice day, made better by Marcus and Moose. Enjoy your stay and get to Glady's for the jerk chicken sandwich...better than any burger I've ever had.

The condo was terrific. The property was terrific. It was a fabulous experience. I can't wait till my next trip. Our flights on September 10 th were cancelled as a result of Tropical Storm Maria. Everything was up in the air when we would be able to travel. Mr. Strong was terrific; since he did not have anyone else arriving immediately after us, he allowed us to extend our trip by the time lost at the beginning. The unit itself is incredibly well stocked. We packed up chairs and supplies into the trunk of our car, so we were well prepared at every beach site. It's amazing how much stuff he has in the beach supply closet. The kitchen had great supplies. It was fabulous being able to do laundry during the week and before packing up to go home. The beds were comfortable. Altogether a very comfortable place. We really loved it? Way better than staying in a hotel room. The snorkeling right off the left side of the beach was terrific. Sapphire Beach on the other side of Red Hook was amazing. I took some great pictures of Sea Turtles not far off the beach. New Horizons Sail/Snorkel Trip is one of the best bargains on the island. Just reserve on-line for half off. The food is good. The drinks are excellent and free flowing, and the snorkeling is just outstanding. We loved our vacation. Thank you.

Just wanted to thank you....We had a fantastic time, although the tropical storm gave us a couple of windy, cloudy days with rough surf! We were just glad it passed on by without becoming a hurricane! One of the best things I can say is that the condo was extremely well stocked and fit our family perfectly (me, my husband, 19 yr old son and 22 yr old daughter)....many things I brought that I wished I'd left home (flashlights, batteries, spices, laundry detergent, frisbees, etc.). The one thing I resisted bringing were beach towels---thank goodness---there were plenty there! You should maybe mention your "closet" full of beach toys/snorkeling equipment a bit more. We had our own snorkeling gear, but it looked you had a wide selection. All your notes/suggestions/maps were extremely helpful also. The condo was exactly as you described, very close to the beach/pool. We went on the BVI trip with Breakaway (highly recommend!) and drove our rental car (from Avis who did not object to us doing so) over to St. John's twice, again highly recommend. It cost $27 and $25 ($52 total RT) and was great because we went all over St. Johns, so actually was much cheaper than the passenger ferry/taxis would have been for the 4 of us. We also drove all over St. Thomas, up to Mountain Top, etc. I think we pretty much saw everything. Did a lot of shopping also. Went to Bamboos for HH several times and did Taco Tuesdays & Wednesday Ladies night at Duffy's Love Shack---what a blast! Island Time Pub and Latitudes 18, plus a few others along the way. We did call the first day and talked to your property mgr about the lock box key; we were trying to use the one in the King bedroom, and not the one in the hall by the 'toy' closet! She steered us in the right direction, no problem. Wish the restaurants would have been open onsite, especially the pool bar, and maybe until that is 'fixed' you might want to mention that. It would not have kept us from staying there, but it would have been a nice extra. Maybe mention prices in St. Thomas are pretty expensive, but again most people realize that. We did all our grocery shopping at the Food Center. We spent the majority of our time on the beaches, which are all awesome: Coki Beach was our favorite on St. Thomas and of course Trunk Bay on St. John's, but we pretty much tried just about all of them. All in all, a wonderful, relaxing, fun trip! I highly recommend your condo--it is in a perfect location for everything!

Your condo was the best, everything that we could possibly need was there and very clean and spacious.The basket on the island in the kitchen with flyers of things to do and the book from other visitors to your condo on places to see was great. The pool was beautiful and loved the Jacuzzi. Snorkeling gear and chairs at the condo made it nice as to not to need to rent them at the beaches we went to. It made it nice if we didn't want to go out to dinner that we could just cook at the condo. We were so relaxed that we all had a hard time staying awake even the two 20 year olds. Loved the beach and all the other beachs Sapphire beach (son got to swim with the sea turtles),Coki beach, Meagans bay, and Truck Beach on St. John. The weather was awsome the hole time we were there. And loved Duffys Love Shack great drinks ,entertainment ,friendly people and good food. Went to Fish Tails for dinner nice place good food and for pizza and drinks or beer Senior pizza that was good The only thing that I didn't like and is no ones fault but my own is I gained 8 pds ( to many delicious banana drinks BBC). I would love to come back some time soon it was a much needed vacation. Thank You so much

Fabulous Views

The view to the ocean as you enter the unit is beautiful! Each room has an amazing view to wake to each morning. It is spacious, has all the kitchen amenities we needed, and is very well arranged for a family. We had a fabulous family vacation with plenty of room for all 8. Paul had a pack and play and high chair available for our 1 year old grandson. We had three couples, a 4 year old and 1 year old, and the space was perfect for us. It is an easy walk to the beach, very convienent, we spent time every day on the beach. It was so easy for members of our group to travel to and from the beach as each person needed. Unfortunately the pool was closed for renovations during our stay, but it looked beautiful. The condo is close to Red Hook making it convienent to other attractions, restaurants, the ferry to other islands, and shopping. The condo was well cared for and clean. Paul gave very good directions, instructions and helpful hints. He was very easy to work with in making all arrangements. We would recommend this unit to everyone, it is great for families or couples. A great vacation spot. Jim and Kathy

Beautiful location, spacious condo

Review Submitted: 05/09/11
First off, the condo is great. There is plenty of space, the kitchen is well-equipped, the two bathrooms are a must. The two patios are wonderful. The furniture is comfortable, washer and dryer work really well. There's not a thing about this condo that I'd change. Second, the resort: Its everything you need. Restaurants, water sports, massage, etc. Heck, there's decent snorkeling in the bay right outside your door (and snorkeling equipment in the condo). The resort is beautifully kept, the pool is great for kids, the beach is right there, and really nice. Its a little expensive to get around the island, but we found a non-union cabbie who was great and seemed to be everywhere, all the time. Coki beach was a must-see and, if you have kids, Coral World (next to Coki beach) is great!

Great Resort

The resort is small + casual, but intimate with great amenities on the property (nice restaurant, beach bar, fitness center, small store, office w/internet, + salon) The unit has a great floor plan with master bedrooms on either side of the living area, which is well equipped. Another amenity is the close proximity (100 yds) to the Ritz + walking + jogging trails. However, it is crowded over there. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay as it was very relaxing but not boring.

We had a very enjoyable stay in this condo. It's very spacious, comfortable and conveniently located - in terms of proximity to the beach and to nearby Red Hook. The place is well stocked and our host was very accommodating. For example, he provided amenities that we didn't have to bring such as beach towels, a cooler and snorkel gear and that lightened our load coming down. I also like the local beach as there is a constent breeze and lots of trees for shade when needed. We'll definately consider this condo again when we return to St. Thomas.

In spite of some minor problems as a result of arriving on the heels of Hurricane Earl, we had a great time. The condo was beautiful and had everything we needed without having to rush to the store! We think that this condo has the best view of the beach than any others! The staff of Ainsley's and Roberts were excellent! They went out of their way to make our stay memorable, including a special birthday dinner set up on the sand! Paul included all the information needed in his "welcome" so packet that we had no problems finding what we needed or wanted. The whole process of planning this vacation from start to finish was easy. We liked being able to go directly to the condo and skipping the registration. Paul was wonderful to work with, clearly caring about our satisfaction. We hope come back soon!

Excellent vacation! The appartement is very comfortable, equipped with everything we needed during the stay ( from the washing and dryer to the snorkling gears ). The view from the balcony is breath taking! The beach is great for snorkling and just swimming. Very nice night entertainment at the restaurant. I highly recomend the trip to BVI with New Horizon II ( Jost Van Dyke island and Virgin Gorda are absolutely amaizing) ! Paul does a wonderful job to accomodate all the needs of his guests!
